Club Policy

Clubs at PS:1 have existed almost as long as PS:1 itself has existed. Clubs arise as a corollary of the Membership Agreement section on Guests and the foundational concept of JFDI, and are governed by Be Excellent to Each Other, the Membership Agreement, and the Board Policy on Events.

What is a Club

Some typical examples of clubs are groups that meet weekly, every other week, or monthly, are Beer Church, NERP, and Toool. For the purposes of Pumping Station: One, the definition of Club is vaguely defined intentionally. *A **Club** is any group that meets regularly, whose attendance is usually three people or more, and includes at least one member of PS:1 as a participant*.

Starting a Club

If you are a member, you probably do not need anyone's permission to start a club. Most clubs start small, with just a few people, meeting regularly for a short period of time. If you need to hold your events in a specific area or use specific tools, you should contact the Area Host in charge of that and get it cleared first. If you are expecting a lot of members to attend, and the event will occupy a space for more than a couple of hours, you should also contact the Events Planner. In addition to coordinating events, the Events Planner can arrange food and supplies for your event.

Posting to the Calendar

To put your club's events on the calendar contact the Board Secretary, though a number of people have access to the calendar and can also help you. While posting to the calendar isn't required, it can increase the number of people who attend and prevent events from accidentally overlapping in the same space.
